Explain why atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide are expected to increase in the future.

Answer and explanation;

-Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are expected to increase in the future, because practices that are responsible for carbon emissions are expected to increase.

-With an increased demand for energy caused by an increasing population, fossil fuel burning is expected to increase. When fossil fuels burn, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

-Additionally, the clearing of forests for agriculture and living space that occurs in response to increasing populations causes a release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
